MMTR Allroad Idiocy

[Wingman]

Considering TDI swapping this and sincerely making a forever car of this…

Nothing is a forever car in NY 

[mr.mindless]

true, but it's essentially rust free now so that's a 7-10 year car...

it would be emissions compatible, should be able to get proper vin and fuel type in computer. though I do know it's a different computer between the two. plug compatible but some pin differences. other things to look into.

but with catalytic codes and needing a clutch and evap issues... ¯\_(?)_/¯

[mr.mindless]

ordered an expensive clutch for this guy. probably drive it this winter otherwise as-is. hopefully code out or fool the catalytic issue so I can get it stickered. smoke machine should find the evap and SAI issues, I'm sure they are patchable.

ought to be a stupid hassle.

Interstate had a blem correct battery for this. it's a bit fit critical so that's good. nice that they're still $60.

well price went up from everyone i have ever bought at 50 from them. 


im at 4 failures of last 8 batteries from them in less than 2 years, not great record.

I just used that same battery for winching onto your trailer. Good start by my book.

I seem to ruin 5 batteries per year so cheaper the better
